[Pault]

Originally, we had the concern that we needed a smooth surface for our frisbees to slide on (despite a wooden prototype that could easily shoot the length of the field). We decided to put a piece of abs on top of our wooden shooter arm so that the frisbees would slide on that. However, when we realized we were overweight (which will happen if you build a wooden robot, even with a <30in tall robot and the smaller frame perimeter), we decided to remove the abs, and let the frisbee slide on painted wood. It only ended up shooting half as far (although there is a good chance that this happened because of another cause), but we aren't a full court shooter so distance didn't matter much. Precision is what matters more. At the Boston Regional on Friday, we made 27/27 shots in autonomous. On Saturday, our precision declined so that we would often only make about 2/3 shots in autonomous. At Beantown Blitz, our precision was down to about 1.5/3 shots. Could this deterioration be because we used wood? Maybe, I will let you be the judge of that.
